OCEANSIDE: Vehicle burns after collision

OCEANSIDE ---- A vehicle was on fire Tuesday afternoon following
a collision in the 4900 block of Lake Boulevard, authorities and
witnesses said.

Oceanside police responded at 2:24 p.m. to the collision near
Cannon Road, a dispatcher said. She said two vehicles collided and
one of them was completely engulfed in flames.

She said it appeared everyone was able to get out of the vehicle
before it caught fire.

At least on person was injured in the collision, a North County
Fire Communications dispatcher said. She did not know how badly the
person was hurt.

The vehicle was still burning as classes were letting out at a
nearby middle school and elementary school, according to emergency
radio transmissions. Authorities diverted some traffic and asked
parents and students to use the schools' back and side exits.
